Soooooo here's something I've never done before, I'll be making my own game
I'm doing a study called 'GameDesign', just had my first real school week, and I already have to make my own game within 10 weeks xD

The title is: 'Lost in a Dream'
It's going to be about a boy who is stuck in his own dreams and has to wake up again by solving puzzles. The genre will be 'Point&Click adventure', so you will only be using your mouse, and the style will be cartoon-ish.

The main character 'Max':


Landscape concept


In-game level (almost done)


A swamp. I will change the fire, but after that this one will also be used in the game.


Unreal, rocky landscape.


Early in-game screenshot


A preview:




That's the concept art I'll be showing for now, I'll probably post more soon ^^

Good concept and the artwork is great. It would be nice to be able to design a game of my own. I started on a mod for might and magic 6 once but there was so much to think about and I had to work in hex which was a real headache! Good luck with this.

I wanted to make a game, but then everything I found showed me I can't so....
I hope your comes out nice!

As for the concept art, he's very cute! I like how you colored him. :>
Gj! :>

Great concept, but wow, what a major project!!!!

Indeed it is a big project, but a lot of fun, always wanted to make my own game I will be using Construct 2 to make the game, so you don't need to know programming and such, that helps a lot too.

I've added one of the landscape concepts to the startpost!

I like the landscape a lot! It's very pretty!

baukjespirit: really nice work on the character and landscape. i love the style of them and unlike in many point and clicks i have tried the character seems to go very well with the environment. details like that are important to me . best of luck with the game project - hope you can share the whole thing with us when it's finished!

Thanks a lot I do hope I can share the game here, but only if you guys are interested in trying it, lol
I've added a level design, it's not fully done, but it will be one of the levels when it's done.

Very nice! Indeed a balance of Darker and lighter levels will make the game have more intrigue.
I was recently given an old free version of gamemaker but it doesn't know if it likes me yet so...I hope you get further than I am in the game making process. xD

It's looking really cool. I would like to try it when it's finished.

Thank you, I also like strong lighting in backgrounds and stuff, definitely makes it more intrigue indeed
Haven't heard of Gamemaker.. you could also try Construct 2 if Gamemaker is not to your liking. I've been working with it for one time or so and I already think it's pretty simple

Erisian:
I don't know yet how I'm going to do that, but I'm sure I'll find a way to share it

BaukjeSpirit,
You could launch this game with your availability for other languages​​! I think here in GC has people from various countries and that could help with this.
Being your first game, I think there would not be many texts / menus to be translated.
Well .. is an idea!

Well that would be cool but also a lot of work. And because this is my first game and only a school project I will make it in english only. But who knows, maybe my next project Anyways, thanks for the idea!

K1TesseraEna:
I will post some more soon

I've added a swamp painting which will be also used in the game

OoOoOoOoOo..!
I like this level too! My only thing is I think the swamp bog should look a little more wet or add some more lighting from the fire, this looks a little (to me) like a very soft fabric mostly. Granted Swamps are quite "solid" with mold and stuff so maybe I'm just being picky. xD

I love the atmosphier it's very well done!

Nice work! I like your fantasy yet semi realistic style a lot!

Lovely swamp - lots of atmosphere. Get the right sound effects and it'll be amazing.

Your work always amazes me. Keep it up!
BTW: What platforms will your game support?

Mokonafan:
Thanks a lot! I really agree with you about those details! I will fix more details if I get the chance, 10 weeks isn't a long time to create a game so for now on I'll focus more on different things (like finishing all the backgrounds and animations, they cost a lot of time xD)

Erisian:
Thanks! I hope I will get them right, I do have some ideas about sound effects, like bubble sounds in the swamp level with animated bubbles and such

mikethedj4:
Thank you! You can only create games for the iPad, browser, mobile phone, facebook and such with Construct 2, so it will be a browser game

I'm not sure what you will use for sounds but if your musical keyboard has sound effects it might help a bit.
My keyboard has like over 100 sounds not including the musical instruments and stuff. lol
